Cut( )

Assigns part of one variable to another variable

---

 Cut(   newvar   =   varname   ,   delimiter   ,   fieldspec   ) 

Cuts an existing variable named varname into several pieces, and assigns one or more of the pieces to a new variable named newvar .

The delimiter argument is the character on which to cut varname . It defaults to - .

fieldspec is the number of the field you want to assign to newvar . Fields are counted starting with 1 . The fieldspec may be specified as a range (with - ) or a group of ranges and fields (with & ). If more than one field is selected, Cut( ) leaves the delimiter between the fields.

Returns , or -1 on hangup or error.
